Analysis of tonight's debate -- your comments here

Bozo and BB,

It was once explained to me that jumping on the horn of a goat is good for PC (back on topic).

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Grandma got run over by a reindeer! Rudolph has been listed as "a person of interest". FBI, HSA, NBA, NHL,FHA, IRS have all stated that they will initiate in-depth investigations as to Rudolph's involvement. This certainly could have an effect on Rudolph in future debates.

Tonight's debaters are arriving this afternoon. Taking a page from TR's playbook from a hundred years ago, The Grinch arrived in town on the Polar Express. Grinch addressed his supporters from the back of the train. Grinch presented new options for his plan from four years ago and shouted "Forward". At that point, the conductor misunderstood what was going on, the train and Grinch, lurched forward, symbolically moving away from the inquisitive electorate. Grinch, trying to reposition himself, then aligned with his predecessor's plan: "Change We Can Believe In". This plan was way beyond successful. In fact Grinch stated that "Change" was not enough. This time it is was going to take "Dollars". He then got the crowd chanting "Dollars We Can Believe In".

Grinch's second topic was that he would appoint two or three Czars to monitor PC topics. These Czars could edit or in fact delete words that were not good for the established goals of the controlled community. Next on the agenda, Grinch brought in entertainment on the importance of words. He had the top three finalists from this year's national spelling bee. The first to demonstrate was given the word pianissimo. They were to say the word, spell the word and then use it in a complete sentence. The young champion said and spelled the word correctly. Then recited the following sentence: "My dad went to the urologist, the PA came in with a cup and said, "not enough, here, pianissimo."

The three PC Czars then came to the microphone and hummed "Silent Night" as the train slowly pulled away. With the surgical precision of a robot, the Grinch's personality radiated with the assembled. Their elevated hormones had them at a feverish pitch waiting for tonight's debate to begin. Like a thief in the night, Grinch had stolen them from Rudolph.

Octorobo, excellent, most excellent.

I did not watch last night's debate. Instead, I was in a crowded movie theater watching the Millenium Falcon rise from the ashes.

Clearly one of the more lasting threads on this Forum.

Guess we all needed a break.

You are welcome, Tim.

I am amazed that one or two took it seriously.

But, I almost got suckered into turning this into a real political thread.

Tud -- I almost forced you into earning that ample pay check!

More Breaking News

Steve Harvey has just informed the inn keepers that the accounting firm of Abacus and Associates, the unbiased official actuary for debate scoring results, are ready to announce the current standings. As you know, there are two primary debaters here, Rudolph, being independently backed by an Alaskan billionaire toy maker who has self funded the recognizable political action committee, "Surgeons are the Right Choice" and Grinch who is being backed by government subsidies and a new comer political action committee called "Radiologists, Healers for Life". Mr. Harvey said there was some controversy as to how much accuracy the numbers reflect at this extremely early stage in the race. It seemed, as the audience was being scanned, they agreed. The consensus was it might be best to follow the evolution to a later stage in development to achieve confirmation of reliability.

Harvey stated that the minuscule difference between the numbers of Rudolph and Grinch could fall within the margin of error and would likely cause ultra-sensitive effects between both camps of the debate. Harvey then stated the results were in and that Rudolph's numbers were up and now has a 500 point lead. There was a gasp of alarm from Grinch and his followers. They shouted "False Reading". Harvey, reluctantly reported that he in fact had made an error in reporting the numbers. This seems to be so common. Harvey suggested that we just step back and take a wait and see attitude and check the numbers in a couple of weeks.

You are very creative at interjecting religion in this very serious thread.

Please edit yourself.

I really enjoyed the creativity of Octobero's posts. I am going to combine them to share with others who would appreciate the humor, with your permission.
Billy Bob, did you grow up in Pueblo? That's where I went to college.

Life, no, I left Columbus, GA in 75 or 76 to take a job as RN in the ER of St.Mary Corwin hospital and lived in a duplex out in Pueblo West for a year or 2. I REALLY liked it there. I left there when I got accepted to Anesthesia school in Erie, PA. I nearly cried as I watched the mountains recede in the rear view mirror of the U-Haul truck as I headed for PA. I always planned to go back there after graduation, but I never made it. I 1st went to Tupelo, MS where Elvis was born, then after 4 years went to Flagstaff, AZ for 2 years then to a suburb of Salt Lake City, UT for 2 years before accepting an offer to return to Tupelo in 87, and been here ever since. When were you in college there?

Billy Bob, I cracked up when I read your thread. I started at USC in 84. Ended up living in a green duplex in Pueblo West when I graduated and before moving to Westcliffe, where I met my Gary. We moved to No Cal, but his parents still live there and we visit. I cry every time I see the Sangres disappearing in the rearview.
Mel, now we are REALLY OT, but you had to be there!
Octorobo, May I share you Chistmas Story? I promise to give you credit. It may become a classic!
